It was on IPA7 which is a test bed aircraft owned by the Consortium with physical changes
HMD is just a helmet it is plug and play

If anyone else has any videos or images of ghost targets please stick them in the comments. Also include a game log file if possible.
8 MICA’s are also tested with test aircraft, French air force itself didnt do that as well.
As i’ve said this is lame excuse to not give PIRATE IRST to German EFT.

yeah I know its just a shame that the missiles don’t really match the planes strengths, MICAs and the Rafale’s airframe are an epic combo at close range.
Well thats why France left the EFT program and created their own planes for almost any situation.
If MICA gets its historical performance it will be even more dangerous in any situation.
Pylons vs a whole IRST system that requires changes to the airframe
Hmmm
IRST doesnt require completely new airframe, its a modification can be applied to existing airframes as well, just like making modifications on pylons.
I dont know what you’re talking about.
I didn’t say new airframe
I said it requires modifications to the airframe
HMD and pylons don’t
Both HMD and pylons requires modifications on existed frames, you cant just slap HMD and additional missiles to airframe without changes on FCS,airframe and Computer systems.

You know the HMD is plug and play right
The pylons is more of a question it the wiring for them is there or not which it seems that at somepoint it was
IRST on a Eurofighter is not that
If you want a German Eurofighter with IRST suggest IPA7
It seems that you wanna keep your British EFT better than German one, cant say im surprised.
Difference is the MICAs for Rafale are in the official manual and listed. Like the F-15E
Typhoon we dont have a manual or official releases to say this is possible and has been done before.
Even though we know each weapon station has the ability to fit the universal ejector pylons
IRST is lightyears away from being useful in game

another difference is that being at 14.0 without an IRST is way less significant than being at 14.0 with only 6 missiles
Seems like more proof to me that an old build of the dev server was pushed to live
Already reported my guy :)

New report at this point.
I mean i don’t really care if we don’t get irst, we could get the ipa 7 with it on sometime.
What i really care about are those 55 kg extra the system adds, give me my improved twr gaijin.

PIRATE IRST was tested on German EFT’s so we know its possible to use it on German ones, just like Italian and British models.
Thanks for the information, you’re the best.
